There are small behavioral and environmental changes that can gently nudge you toward your wellness goals.

Think of these as small adjustments to your everyday life, rather than big shifts. Some of our favorites include making the couch a "no eating zone," where binge watching TV can lead to the overconsumption of snacks.

Getting in shape can be incredibly daunting task to start. Here are the top twelve things you can do to make you lose weight. These are small and basic things but will surely help your lifestyle. 

1. Make Your Couch A No Eating Zone: Sitting at a table with a plate and silverware can make a person more mindful when eating which can help to stop eating when full. 

2. Don't Focus On the Scale Too Much: When you stop to look at a weighing scale and start focusing on being healthy, then that's the time you slowly loose weight. 

3. Do Not Look At The Mirror Too Often: Without looking at the mirror too often, you can actually see the real difference your body is having when you try to lose weight. 

4. Find Healthy Alternatives for your Cravings: Instead of buying unhealthy food when craving, why not find an alternative food to eat instead. This will help you intake fatty food and will help you reduce weight. 

5. Try not to eat just because you are bored: When you are starting to feel bored, tendency is you might grab a snack and eat. Instead of doing this, why not just grab what you want to do like reading or any of you hobbies instead. 

6. Try cooking for yourself instead of ordering delivery: Instead of ordering pizza or any fast food, cooking for yourself is better and has a lot of benefit like you can watch what you put in the food you are cooking and of course you save more money.

7. Skip the elevators and escalators: When going to a mall or any establishments that has escalators or elevators, it is way better to take the stairs going up instead. Remember, walking is one way of burning you calories and excess fats in your body.

8. Find an exercise that you can actually enjoy: You can find a daily routine exercise that you can enjoy for yourself so you could be consistent in doing it everyday.

9. Try taking your coffee black: Having black coffee instead of drinking it with cream an sugar could help you reduce a few pounds. 

10. Try giving up soda and alcohol and replace it with more water: Water is way better than any other drinks.

11. Avoid foods with added sugar: Too much sweet food can make you gain weight so avoid it.

12. Work out with a group of friends: By this you can actually enjoy going to the gym with some of your best buddies and this could also give you a great bond between them.
